Lower Tmap sensor and Autowerks pipe

Lower Tmap sensor and Autowerks pipe
Tried to install my new Autowerks Ic piping in my 2010 SS while working in the intake, injectors etc etc
The pipe's bending looks just like the oem, but once installed, the plate for the sensor and vac line looks to be at a weird angle, and so close to the AC down there that the connector won't fit
If I move the intercooler FW about an inch, clearance is better but still close
I could rotate the sensor 180 degrees, drill and tap the plate.
OR... would the sensor work the same if it's rotates, let's say, 45 degrees, or there a direction for it to read?
Also, my upper pipe is SO close to the wiring harness that it will push the harness in order to reach the align the mounting bracket with the bolt on the valve cover
Thanks!

There have been others who had this problem and cut and turned the pipe, then welded it back together, it seems to me a shame that the Cobalt pipe really isn't that compatible with the HHR!!
If this was my SS, I'd contact Autowerks , and have them address the problem, and send y'all the correct parts for your SS.

Autowerks reply, after I contacted them and asked what about turning the sensor 180 degrees: "Fro the lower IC pipe, yes, you can re-drill and tap another mounting hole for the Tmap sensor to swing it 180 degrees around.If you cannot do this please send us the pipe and we can do it for you and ship it back"
I can do it myself and need to have the car running asap. Still have to get the pipe out again, but if there's enough meat to drill and tap, and rotate a few degrees for clearance, I'd do it
